$50 you think that $4,000 is a high
figure for that piece of property?"
said w. T. Hall, the dealer in real
estate, to TIMES reporter, last night,
as he indicated the lot adjoining the
Merchants' Hotel. swell, l tell you
that it is cheap, and l can prove it to
you. Prior to 1885 the property paid
80 per cent. per anuum on $4,000.
During the past two years it has not
paid quite so we'll, but they were the
dullest years we have had; yet it has
paid 70 per cent. per annum on
$4,000. Now, would it be business
like to let piece of property paying
as we'll as that 60 for less than s4OOO9
| say no. Why, only for the fact that
1t is to close up an estate, l don't
think it could be got for $5oOO."
E. A. White does not regard the
figure as unreasonable. "Why," said
he, ''look at this lot adjoining my
store on the south. 1t cost the owner
$500 four years ago. He has done
nothing except to pay taxes, and yet
the property has nettcd him over
$4,000. Oh! l tell you, people are
beginning to appreciate good business
locations"
H. R. Plughoff, who owns the lot
25x12O, between Sherman's lodging
house and Krieg's store, says: 81
don't think it is bit too high. Why,
10 days ago was offered $500 cash
for my lot, and just laughed at the
Offer To-day l was offered $4,000,
and only answered that the lot was
not for SALE"
"What would you say to s3OOO?"
asked the reporter.
"The lot is not for SALE" replied
Mr.. Plughoff.
"Say $4,000 ?"
swell, l mig hit take that OFF, under
advisement; but l would hesitate even
then. l tell you that if the Gold Bet
proves half as good as we all expect
$4,000 will not be out of the way 70,
desirable business lots in Haley"
The above are fair samples Of the
public feeling here at present. Prop
erty in all parts Of town Is held a.
much higher figures than heretofore
and while many wish to sell, it is onl,
with the view of putting the none,
in the Gold Belt, or investing in othe
town property here.

THE FOUR FOOLISH BOYS.
The District Attorneys Reproof to
Them Brings Tears TO the Eyes of
All Who Hear 1t.

All VINO near lts
The four boys arrested last week
on a charge of petit larceny were up
in the Probate Court yesterday for
sentence. Judge Lennon said his
duty was a painful one, but for the
sake of the culprits, their parents and
friends, and the community at large,
he had to pronounce two Of them
guilty of the charge as principals, and
the others as accessories. He would,
however, suspend sentence in order to
give the accused chance, by good
behavior, to redeem themselves in the
estimation of the community and to
regain their own self-respect.
District Attorney Roberts addressed
the lads in a 10 minutes speech, ad-
juring them not to permit themselves
to again Intentionally do wrong. As
he spoke, the General warmed to his
subject and threw such feeling in his
remarks that the culprits, officials, and
about everybody else in the court.
room, shed tears copiously. The room
was crowded.

he can make more profit he may tell you
he has something just as good, or just the

WOOD RIVER AND SMOKY ROAD.
A Necessary Outlet for q Vast Mineral.
Bearing Region.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMEs:-
In your issue OF April 9th, is an arti-
Gle urging the construction of a road
to Smoky by way of Beaver Creek.
1t would be an unnecessary waste of
time on my part to discuss the inn
portance of that road both to Wood
River, Alturas county, and Smoky.
Your editorial has already done that.
At this time let me call attention to
the benefit the proposed road will be
to new ana rapidly improving dis.
trict. All that portion Of country
lying at the head of Beaver Creek
and Willow Creek and their many
tributaries, is filing up with pros.
pectors. A great number of locations
is being made. Many of them will
certainly develop into large and valu-
able mines. There is no road out of
that country at present but by way of
Camas Prairie-puts all of II miles
unnecessary travel upon all people in
the district. The hills on the south
side Of Willow Creek are heavily
timbered. The Gold Belt wants this
timber for mining purposes. BY way
Of the proposed road we can easily
reach it and an incalculabie benefit
be conferred upon this locality.
The Del Monte group of mines was
sold last summer to an Omaha com
pany, and am credibly informed that
they propose opening up their prop
erty and erecting 4 mill this season.
Of course they must have q road.
The one proposed passes within less
than mile of their locations.
Another point in favor of this pro-
ject is the ease and cheapness with
which the work can be completed
Say that you leave the Camas Prairie
road at Richardson's and cross Camp
creek in the neighborhood of the old
Smoky trail; from there to the sum.
nit of the Beaver creek divide there
are three or four gulches, up either Of
which good grade can be cheapl,
built. The grade down the Beaver
creek slope is considerably greater
but the formation is such as can be
easily worked. Flows and scraper.
will do by far the greater portion Of
it. No hard rock, no difficult streams
to cross, no expensive bridges to build
Thence down Beaver to its junction
with Willow creek. There are one
or two poin,s at which for shor
distance blasting will have to be re
S rted to, but the greater portion o
this part Of the route can also b.
cheaply built. When one takes int
consideration the undoubted advan
tage the completion of this road vii
be to such large and populous par
of the county, the wonder is that
has not been pushed to finish Ion,
ere this.
Now, who among the many person
who are to be benefited bysthis projec
will take the business in hand, organ
ize a committee, solicit contributions
and give definite shape to the project
Let US not waste the summer in talk
ing over the matter and neglectin
from day to day the completion of a
enterprise that all regard as a nece'
sity. Let some ono move at once, an
let the Wood River, Beaver cree
, and Smoky road be built at once.

The Hipdomadal MyriobibIon.

During a stroll down East Third street
yesterday afternoon making notes of the
various and numerous improvements
being made in that locality, we casually
stepped into the old and well-knoWn
agricultural implement warehouse of
Mast, BufOrd d Burwell company, cor
ner Third street and Broadway where
we were struck with amaZement at the
wondrous display of fine and elegant
carriages on exhibition in their new
carriage repository.
We there met an old New York friend
"a carriage manufacturer-who in
formed us that this repository, with its
appointments, equaled anything west of
New York city. Looking through the
stock contained in this tastily con-
structed place we found, besides the
regular styles of pleasure and driving
carriages and buggieS, choice
line of Landaus, coupes, Mi Lord
VictoriaS, Mikado extension top car
ryallS, English fiVe-light bevel extension
front, morocco lined, satin ! head,
BroughamS, Gladstone carts, six-seat
RockawayS, ladies phaetonS, village
carts, pony dog carts, Kensington L.
carts with reversible back SeatA, Den
nett jump-seat, Bangor buggieS, Con-
cord business wagons, speeding wagons
and numerous other styles of line high
grade vehicles.
Their display of Concord and Newark
harness is the finest we ever saw; con-
sisting of single and double harness for
coupe, coach, light driving and track
purposes, trimmed and mounted in gold,
silver; nickel, oroide and rubber; also
several styles of russell and plain black
dog cart harness for the little folks.
"A visit to this emporium of fine car
riageS and harness is quite a treat.
